Egypt's president, Mohammed Mursi, insisted on Sunday that he would not be another dictator as he tried to calm violent opposition to a decree that grants him absolute powers.
As police continued to fight battles with protesters around Tahrir Square in Cairo, Mursi issued a statement stressing that the power seizure was "temporary" and calling for political dialogue. He also agreed to meet Egypt's judges on Monday to negotiate a solution to the crisis.
"The presidency reiterates the temporary nature of those measures, which are not intended to concentrate power," the statement said. "The presidency stresses its firm commitment to engage all political forces in the inclusive democratic dialogue to reach a common ground."
Mursi outraged opponents on Thursday, less than 24 hours after winning international praise for negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, by announcing that henceforth all his decisions would be beyond legal challenge.
He also unilaterally cancelled legal challenges to the committee drawing up a new constitution as well as to the upper house of parliament, both dominated by his Muslim Brotherhood backers. With no lower house of parliament until the new constitution is formed, this decree gave him stronger powers than those of his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak.
Mursi was condemned as a "new pharoah" and yesterday, protesters, led by liberal and Left-wing secular forces, continued a sit-in in Tahrir Square. Police drove them back from side roads with tear gas.
Opposition figures including Mohammed ElBaradei, the former head of the UN International Atomic Energy Agency, Amr Moussa, the former head of the Arab League, and Abdelmoneim Aboul Fotouh, a moderate Islamist who challenged Mursi for the presidency, announced the formation of a "National Salvation Front" to fight the decision.
At one stage, Egypt's judges seemed ready to force a confrontation, by declaring a national strike against the declaration. The highest constitutional court also threatened to defy the president by pressing ahead with a ruling on the constitutional committee next month.
A lawyer, Shawki al-Said, posted a legal challenge to the president's decree itself. But by last night, Egypt's supreme judicial council, which oversees the courts, called on Egypt's judges to hold off from a strike. It met the justice minister, Ahmed Mekki, who had expressed opposition to Mursi's statement saying he had not been consulted. But he also urged an end to the strike threat.
On Sunday night, the state news agency said the council would meet Mursi himself. Opponents fear there will be clashes tomorrow when the Muslim Brotherhood organises a counter-rally to support the president against the Tahrir Square protesters. Some even fear the military, which have taken a back seat since Mursi became president in June, may use the confrontation as a excuse to step back in.
But Adel Soleiman, of Cairo's International Centre for Future and Strategic Studies and a retired general, said he believed Mursi would get his way. "He is the elected president and he is the only elected authority in the country," he said. "The political role of the military is over."

Comments about 16 oz. Iron Armor® Black Professional Undercoating Spray Paint:
I paint my cars and anything rusty or going to rust with it. It's rubber and seals and makes your car so it won't get damaged as easy.

Good Results/Good Price

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I Like all Iron Armor products except for 1 ( The Rust Reformer) so when it came time to undercoat the wheel wells of my 1984 Chevy K5 Blazer, I reached for the Iron Armor Undercoating.It went on well and dried to a tough black finish that made the wheel wells of my K5 Blazer look great.Some tips for using undercoating:Always buy more than you think you will need-Even though the cans are big once you start spraying large areas, it goes quicker than you think. It took me 7 cans to do the 4 wheel wells on my K5 Blazer 2 good coats each including touch ups with about 1/4 can left over.Shake the can during use and clean the nozzle often- If not because of the thickness of the material the nozzle will clog or it will come out "runny". Also spray any areas like angles like the top of the wheel wells while the can is 1/2 full or better as it doesn't spray well at angles after the can is less than half full.Hope these tips help. Another Iron Armor winner from Harbor Freight!

After Cas Lowood's father was killed while trying to eradicate a deadly ghost, Cas took over the job of ghost hunter extraordinaire. Together with his mother, they move from place to place seeking out local legends so that Cas can investigate and banish these ghosts. Easy in, easy out...right? Not this time. When Cas discovers Anna, things take a different and unexpected turn. The girl in the blood dripping dress captivates Cas in a way the dead never should.
Anna would have been a read-in-one-sitting book for me if I had not exercised a surprising amount of self control and made myself save the rest of the book for a dentist visit the next day. I loved this story and it is easily in my top five ghost stories of all time. I admire a book from a male point of view, they are entirely too rare, and the character of Cas is perfection. His running internal monologue kept me laughing and I adore how witty and full of snark he is.
For example:
"She might be the most liberal of mothers, letting her teenage son roam the night hunting down the remains of murderers, but she still doesn't like hearing the f-bomb fall out of my mouth".
And my personal favorite:
"Girls, on the other hand, have always come easy. I don't know why that is, exactly. Maybe it's the outsider vibe and a well placed brooding look. Maybe it's something I think I see sometimes in the mirror, something that reminds me of my father. Or maybe I'm just damn easy on the eyes."
Yeah, I'm going with well placed brooding look and damn easy on the eyes. Whatever it is, I love me some Cas Lowood and I appreciate a great ghost story.
While I enjoyed the action and the incredible scares Anna produced, I was pleasantly surprised by the more touching, poignant moments:
"She's my purpose and we're going to save each other. We're going to save everyone. And then I'm going to convince her that she's supposed to stay here. With me."
I look forward to more of Kendare Blake's talented story weaving. I'll be anxiously awaiting Girl of Nightmares, Anna Dressed in Blood #2.

Passion (Fallen #3) by Lauren Kate
Time after time, Daniel and Luce are reunited only to lose each other in the most agonizing way imaginable. Luce believes if she can revisit the past, she can finally break their curse and find a way to make their love last. Daniel must chase Luce through the past and stop her before she can rewrite history and end their romance forever.
A good book should leave you... slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it. ~William Styron, interview, Writers at Work, 1958
That is one of my favorite quotes, and that is exactly how Lauren Kate's Passion left me. I felt as though I had traveled to the most far away and exotic places. I cannot imagine the research that went into this book with the fascinating details of time periods and places. I was captivated from the first few pages and it always feels like coming home to revisit these wonderful characters. I have always been a "Cam" girl but with Passion I understood the draw to Daniel. I felt as though I got to know him better, and my heart bleeds for him.
Passion is my favorite so far in this wonderful series. Lauren Kate blew me away with her impressive phrasing and her intoxicating details. The wait for Rapture will be a difficult one.

In Close by Brenda Novak
Claire O'Toole hasn't exactly had the easiest life. She's had first hand experience at loss and heartache. Fifteen years ago, Claire's mother, Alana, disappeared, shocking the small town of Pineview, Montana. No one ever knew if Alana had abandoned her family, or if foul play had been involved. Claire has never doubted for a moment that her mother did not, and would not ever, desert her family. Ten years ago Isaac Morgan broke Claire's heart into little pieces. Isaac was then forced to watch Claire marry her childhood sweetheart and live her life… without him in it. Last year, when Claire's husband David was killed in a tragic hunting accident, Claire became lost in her grief. But was it really an accident? Isaac doesn't think so, and after a long estrangement from Claire, he knows a way he can help make up for how badly he hurt her. Isaac believes Alana's disappearance and David's death are somehow connected. Together, Isaac and Claire begin their own investigation, and discover more than just clues to Claire's lost loved ones. They realize they still have feelings for each other, and that they need one another now, more than ever. But when they start uncovering answers, it's clear that someone out there wants them to leave well enough alone, and that someone is prepared to keep those answers from coming out at any cost.
I really enjoyed this exciting and fast paced story. I especially enjoyed Isaac Morgan. Isaac is a character you don't want to stop thinking about long after you've read the last page of the story. His relationship with Claire is an intense one, and as much as Claire needs Isaac's strength and comfort…. he needs her just as much.
This book contained a lot of twists and turns. I was determined to figure out the mystery before the author's reveal - I didn't. I adore a suspenseful and thrilling read!
In Close is the first book I have read by Brenda Novak, but I know this: I want more. The woman knows how to write a great mystery, and she really knows how to write a love scene. I'll be reading more by this talented author.
I received a copy of this book for review from Netgalley.
Wolfsbane by Andrea Cremer
"Staring at the wreckage of the life we could have had, I knew it wasn't about love or Shay or the Searchers now. It was about sacrifice and redemption, loss that could have new meaning."
Before I begin my review for Wolfsbane, I want to say a few things about the incredible Andrea Cremer. If you follow her on Twitter, then you already know what a sweetheart she is. I love how gracious she is and how appreciative she is of her readers, bloggers, and reviewers. I stayed up for the midnight release of Wolfsbane and to wish the author a Happy Book Birthday. Her tweets of excitement along with her retweets from her followers were so endearing.
Wolfsbane finds Calla waking up to Searchers, chances and choices. Being in control of her own destiny is a new world for Calla - and one that threatens to tear her apart. Family, pack, enemies-turned-alliances… this story is riveting and full of Cremer's brilliant writing style. Her descriptions are vivid and paint an incredible picture of Calla's journey.
Wolfsbane picks up right where Nightshade left us, but for me the two books couldn't be more different. Nightshade was our introduction to the characters and the world they live in. Wolfsbane is our guide to their history. One thing that was the same: Andrea Cremer's ability to captivate me with her amazing story telling skills. MAD skills! There were parts of this book that I thought for sure would give me an ulcer or a heart attack… or both. My heart was pounding so hard at one point I was concerned… not enough to dare put the book down, but still. The action in this book was intense. There were battles and there were casualties.
I loved the debut of the new characters. I was surprised how quickly I became invested in all of them. Especially Connor. Charming, unbelievably funny and handsome, Connor is a perfect addition to the series.
I am Team Ren and while some have expressed concern over Ren's participation in Wolfsbane, I will say his presence is most definitely felt. I would have thrown what we southerners refer to as a "hissy fit" and we might have had to have a Sunday-morning-come-to-Jesus-meeting with that cliffhanger, but sweet lovely woman that she is, Andrea Cremer released an excerpt of Bloodrose that you can find here:Bloodrose
Now, if only I could rate the excerpt of Bloodrose that she so generously gifted us. Oh wait. This is my review, so I can: Bloodrose gets 5 bazilliontrillion stars. She did not let us Team Ren gals down with that opening!
Is it time for Bloodrose yet? Let the countdown begin!
Nightshade by Andrea Cremer
Calla Tor, the alpha female of a shape-shifting wolf pack, is fated to marry Ren Laroche, his pack's alpha male, thus uniting both packs and ruling together, guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. That is, until Calla saves a beautiful human boy. Calla then begins to question everything she thought she knew. She knows she will have to make a choice. But will she follow her heart even if it means losing everything, including her own life?
I loved this book. Andrea Cremer has created an incredible female lead character in Calla. I love her clever writing style, her ingenious way of introducing characters, and the intriguing secret world of Guardians, Keepers and Searchers. Oh, and these are not cuddly, look into your eyes longingly, nuzzle your neck, snuggle with you wolves:
"Then he slowly stretched out his hand, taking a few steps forward. He bent down. When I realized what he was about to do, I snarled, snapping at his fingers. He jumped back and swore. I shifted into human form. 'You're like a dead man walking.' I pointed an accusing finger at him. 'Don't ever, ever try to pet a wolf. It's just insulting.'"
(You hear that Bella Swan? Ya idgit.)
The author has given us not just one, but two incredibly sexy male love interests. Normally, it is simple to choose sides - to know exactly which guy you would prefer and who you would like to see with the heroine. Not that easy this time. One is beautiful, sweet, tender, and easy to fall for. The other is handsome, tough, arrogant, and the kind of guy you just want to … umm… You get the point.
"Here there was no pack, no master or mistress. Just me and this boy, whose touch made me ache in places promised to someone else."
This book is an action packed page turner and had my stomach in knots while waiting to see what would happen. And thanks to an amazing cliffhanger … it's still in knots! Fortunately, I don't have a long wait. Wolfsbane, the sequel to Nightshade is due out July 26, which for me, can't come fast enough.

text: Well, sure, Cape Canaveral is the home of the Kennedy Space Center, the hub of the nation's human space program. From here, American astronauts confronted and overcame the challenges of space flight, conquered the moon, and set out aboard scores of shuttle flights to launch – and repair – satellites and build the International Space Station. You can learn all about that here and even visit launch pads. But Cape Canaveral, located midway between Jacksonville and Miami along Florida's Space Coast, also offers fine beaches, an increasingly popular cruise ship port, the nearby Brevard Zoo and friendly hotels, inns and restaurants. Also near the space center is Canaveral National Seashore, 24 miles of undeveloped beach with 1,045 plant species and 310 bird species.

I'm here to rescue you."]]-]This guy is a [[IdealHero hero]], pure and simple. They're almost always right, are a friend to all their teammates, and morally superior - ''without'' the usual flaws of GoodIsDumb or WellIntentionedExtremist, unless it's a comedic work. They have a well-rounded skill set. They're not as [[SuperStrength strong]] as TheBigGuy, or as [[SuperIntelligence smart]] as TheSmartGuy, or as [[TheSocialExpert sensitive and socially adept]] as TheChick, but they're close. They can personally accomplish a variety of goals, but their real superpower is getting [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters the whole diverse set of personalities]] to [[TheKirk focus and pull together]]. They'll always know who to ask for help, and when -- and ''usually'' how.Most often, they will be TheProtagonist but [[SupportingProtagonist there are exceptions]] [[VillainProtagonist to this rule]]. Just as often they will be TheLeader or otherwise the [[MagneticHero shining star]] that holds the RagtagBunchOfMisfits together, but [[SupportingLeader there are exceptions to this as well.]] In a [[PowerWalk team lineup]] they will be front and center.Other powers and skills common to the hero include:* In many games or settings, they'll be JackOfAllStats; a well-balanced fighter with decent power and speed, and sometimes some [[MagicKnight ability at magic]].* Most of the time, they'll use a [[HeroesPreferSwords sword or sword-like weapon]] as their weapon of choice, even in science-fiction settings where this makes less sense than a gun.* In a fight, [[InvincibleHero they will ALWAYS win]] (say 99.99% chance...). Even if they lose, bet your life on it that they will win the HeroicRematch.* They will wear either [[RedIsHeroic Red]] or [[HeavenlyBlue Blue]] [[PrimaryColorChampion (sometimes both)]], and if they've got a [[AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance theme]] or powers expect them to be [[PlayingWithFire fire based]]. [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]] and {{light|EmUp}}/[[HolyHandGrenade holy power]] are also common ElementalPowers for the hero.[[ChickMagnet Almost invariably]], the Hero is male and TheChick is [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan in love with him]] (unless she's The Hero or his sister and sometimes [[BrotherSisterIncest even]] {{t|wincest}}hen), as are [[EvenTheGuysWantHim any other members]] who happen to be women or {{gay|Option}} or {{bi|TheWay}}.The primary romantic plot in the team will be between The Hero and TheChick, with TheLancer [[LoveTriangle rounding out a triangle]]. (Bonus points if TheLancer is [[HoYay bisexual]] and is interested in ''both'' of them!) The Hero might also be a ChasteHero or a CelibateHero as an additional complication to romantic subplots.If the Hero has too many of the "positive" qualities listed above, they may degenerate into a MartyStu. If they're too generic, then they're an EveryMan. They are sometimes the OnlySaneMan trying to keep TheTeam together because they live in DysfunctionJunction.The Hero and TheLancer usually have a special chemistry within TheTeam, either a BashBrothers relationship or RedOniBlueOni. They are often [[TheRival rivals]] with a strong mutual respect for each other, and are sometimes HeterosexualLifePartners. They are likely to argue about who is TheLeader, but as stated above, this role usually goes to the hero.Traditionally, this role will not be filled by a woman unless [[AmazonBrigade all the other roles are already women]] (as is often the case in {{Anime}}). If so, there might not be a [[TheChick Chick]] in the group although there ''might'' be TheOneGuy.The Hero does not HAVE to be TheLeader, or the most intelligent. This is usually justified by them being [[KidHero the youngest]], [[IdiotHero most inexperienced]], and/or newest member of the team. Thus, their more senior teammates may reasonably see them as the TagalongKid or the SixthRanger, even if they're clearly [[TheProtagonist the central protagonist]] to the audience. They may even be something of TheLoad if they're a MouthyKid or TheFool, but don't worry -- in time, they will reveal their great potential, eventually [[MagneticHero swaying]] friend [[DefeatMeansFriendship and foe]] alike to their cause. Even if they need [[CharacterDevelopment significant growing up]] to reach that point. Eventually, TheLeader they may very well become.If there's a character [[RuleOfCool cooler]] than the Hero, that character is generally TooCoolToLive.See also TheAce, TheKirk, MessianicArchetype, TheChosenOne, and HeroProtagonist. A {{superhero}} is, by the catch-all definition, a hero (often with superpowers) who dedicates their very life to... well, being a hero.'''Note:''' It is important to remember that while the hero is usually also TheProtagonist, they are not necessarily one and the same. Whereas the hero is defined by the character traits described above, TheProtagonist is defined by their central role in the story. In ''Franchise/StarWars'', for instance, Luke Skywalker is an archetypical example of The Hero and is more or less the MainCharacter of the original trilogy, but the {{prequel}} trilogy establishes the more [[AntiHero antiheroic Anakin Skywalker]] as TheProtagonist of the film series as a whole, even though [[VillainProtagonist he is a villain for more than half of the saga]]. See SupportingProtagonist for instances in which this is the case.'''Note:''' A character can be TheHero of the story without being part of a FiveManBand. ----!!Examples[[index]]* TheHero/AnimeAndManga* TheHero/VideoGames* TheHero/WesternAnimation[[/index]][[foldercontrol]][[folder:Comic Books]]* Franchise/{{Superman}}. ''Every'' hero in comic books, at one point or another, has been compared specifically to Superman, either in how he's similar or how he's different. Even in the case of antiheroes and indy comics, as more often than not, the first thing they'll do is take a swipe at the [=Superman=] mythos. The entire genre of superhero comics starts with ''him''. And that's why Superman will always be the greatest, most iconic representation of a superhero.* The MarvelUniverse has not one, but ''two'' characters who fulfill the trope:** Steve "ComicBook/CaptainAmerica" Rogers, former leader of the Howling Commandos, (generally) the present-day leader of Comicbook/TheAvengers and the most [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment heroic hero]] in the MarvelUniverse. He tends to stand out, because Marvel is a ''big'' fan of the BeingGoodSucks trope and is well-known for its variety of (well-nuanced and varied) AntiHero, VillainProtagonist, FallenHero and [[TheAtoner reformed villain]] characters.** Franchise/SpiderMan: If Steve Rogers is the [[AllLovingHero Soul]] of the Marvel heroes, Peter Parker is the [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Heart]]. We're talking about a guy who preaches the ideal of responsibility, pushes himself to his limits in the name of justice and morality and is able to rally even the most cynical of anti-heroes. Even Cap has expressed admiration at Spider-Man's heroism. * ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} was once the Hero for the ComicBook/{{X-Men}} universe, while Professor X was the Big Good: both characters have undergone a lot of reconstruction and retooling recently.* Archie Andrews from ''Franchise/ArchieComics''.* Quantum from ''QuantumAndWoody'', though he's often deflated by Woody.* The Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica's original line consisted of seven characters who all fit this type in their own comics. Franchise/{{Superman}}, Franchise/{{Batman}}, Franchise/WonderWoman, TheFlash, GreenLantern, Comicbook/{{Aquaman}}, and MartianManhunter. [=Superman=] would traditionally be '''THE''' Hero in this situation but, for example, GreenLantern Kyle Rayner filled this role as a sort of KidHero during Morrison's run, being new and being a replacement for the League's original Lantern Hal Jordan. In lineups with only one of these seven, that hero tends to be The Hero.* More than anyone else in the ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' mythos, the Silver Agent is '''the''' paragon of the heroic ideal that all other heroes strive to achieve. The Agent's influence is so powerful that it inspires others ''millennia'' after his passing.[[/folder]][[folder:Fan Works]]* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'': In thi fic, Shinji takes the role. The main character and the AcePilot.* Lieutenant Jazz is this in Transformers Meta.* Takato from the ''FanFic/TamersForeverSeries''. The [[TheAce strongest tamer]] and protagonist of the series.* Calvin takes on this role, as well as TheLeader, in the ActionizedSequel ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries''.* Twilight Sparkle, just like in ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the original series]]'', is this in the ''Fanfic/PonyPOVSeries''.** Rainbow Dash takes up this role in ''Fanfic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar''.[[/folder]][[folder:Film]]* Elizabeth Swann-Turner and Will Turner are the ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' version of this. Used loosely, as heroes aren't as pure in her world.* In ''Franchise/StarWars'', Luke Skywalker fits this {{trope}} so well that Psychology textbooks show a picture of him in reference to the archetype of a hero. In parts of the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse, variations on "I won't leave you here. I have to save you" are his catchphrase.** The fact that Luke is the Hero archetype was deliberate because GeorgeLucas is said to have been heavily influenced by Joseph Campbell's [[TheHerosJourney ''The Hero With a Thousand Faces'']]. He does subvert The Hero trope in one ''major'' way though - he DidNotGetTheGirl and TheChick ends up with TheLancer instead for [[BrotherSisterIncest one reason or another.]]* Film/{{Avatar}}: Jake Sully, who choses what's right over what's easy, by siding with the Navi over his own people.* 9 from... well, ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Nine}} 9]]''.* Hiccup from ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon'' is both this and TheLeader towards the end of the first film. The entire point of the storyline is that he is TheWoobie who stops [[ButtMonkey getting laughed at]] for [[BeYourself trying to be something he's not]] and finds he was [[OneOfUs one of them all along]] anyway as he takes on their largest enemy and [[DavidVersusGoliath wins]].* Every single Pixar movie has one.** [[KnightInSourArmor Woody]] from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''. While he does let his jealousy of Buzz get the better of him at one point, he shows off his role as TheHero by trying to correct his mistakes, and he makes the welfare of the whole group a priority.** Bob Parr(AKA Mr.Incredible) from ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles'', who is a superhero not only because of his powers, but because he wants to help people, as shown by the way he assists a little old lady when he's working in insurance.** Flik from ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'', who starts out looking for heros before realizing his own power.** Marlin from ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo.'' ** ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'': Sully is The Hero, being the primary force behind wanting to do right by Boo, while Mike is TheLancer.* Balian for most of ''Film/KingdomOfHeaven''* Angel in ''Film/HotFuzz''* John [=McClane=], of ''Franchise/DieHard'', serves as a {{deconstruction}}; his dedication to saving the day and ChronicHeroSyndrome destroy his marriage and strain his relationship with his kids, pushing him into cynicism. He only plays the part of the hero because there's no one else to do it.* Duke from ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra''.* Max from ''Film/{{Elysium}}''* Caesar in ''Film/RiseOfThePlanetOfTheApes'' and ''Film/DawnOfThePlanetOfTheApes''.* Neo from ''Film/RobotHolocaust''.* Manolo Sanchez, of the story Mary Beth tells the detention kids in ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife''.[[/folder]][[folder:Literature]]* ''Literature/HarryPotter'', of course. He succeeds not through force or power, but with goodness and connecting to others.* Romeo Montague from ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet''. * [[{{Leader}} Jake]] of the ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' series is a deconstruction of this role. He was unanimously chosen as leader based on these characteristics but the constant pressure and moral ambiguity of his role start to affect him as the story moves on.* Sam Temple from the ''Literature/{{Gone}}'' series. Mercilessly deconstructed with him by the end of ''Hunger'', when he gets so fed up with the stress and dealing with everyone else's problems that he quits.* Bilbo Baggins in ''Literature/TheHobbit''. While not TheLeader, he follows the classic journey of self-discovery that is associated with the trope.* Aragorn from Literature/TheLordOfTheRings is an interesting case:** He very clearly fills the role of The Hero and TheLeader, though he isn't the chief protagonist, thus making him the SupportingLeader.** Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee both qualify for the role of The Hero in regards to the protagonist swept into adventure, and [[WordOfGod Tolkien]] seems to favor Sam for the part, as his journey is closest to that of Bilbo's in ''Literature/TheHobbit''.* In the XWingSeries books, there are always two to three primary protagonists and viewpoint characters. One or two, depending on whether this book is part of MichaelStackpole's run or an AaronAllston novel - and ''which'' AaronAllston book - is the suboordinate who experiences more CharacterDevelopment, goes through personal revelations and a personal plotline, gets beat up, and is generally a good person but not quite "pure", often having some dark guilt, flaw, or secret. The other primary protagonist is always [[AscendedExtra Wedge Antilles]], who leads, bounces back from setbacks, has a plotline that isn't really all that personal, and is rarely wrong.** '''Starfighters of Adumar'', which is intensely Wedge-centered and has no other viewpoint characters, is the exception, and although Wedge is severely heroic and an AcePilot there too, he's not The Hero to the same extent.* Paul from ''Literature/{{Dune}}''* Hector (for the Trojans) in ''Literature/TheIliad''** Hector period, really. Among the Greeks and Trojans he's just the best guy. Not that he doesn't have his bad moments, but almost everyone else is a total jerk.* Hazel in ''Literature/WatershipDown''* Finn from ''Literature/KingdomKeepers''* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' usually subverts or averts this trope, often favoring the AntiHero instead. Carrot Ironfoundersson of the City Watch plays it straight, being physically and morally strong, but he's not the central protagonist.* In Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians, [[spoiler: we're lead to believe that]] Percy is the hero of the series. [[spoiler: The hero is not who we thought he was. Luke Castellan takes up that role instead.]] However [[spoiler: Percy is still The Hero of the series; he's just not the hero of ''the prophecy''.]]* Fireheart in ''Literature/WarriorCats''.* Literature/InDeath series: Eve Dallas, but she is careful not to consider herself this.* Literature/SisterhoodSeries by Creator/FernMichaels: Nicole "Nikki" Quinn is this for the Vigilantes. Jack Emery is this for the Big Five later on.* Garion in ''Literature/TheBelgariad'' and ''TheMallorean''* Roland in ''Franchise/TheDarkTower''* ''Literature/TrappedOnDraconica'': Daniar leads the group, she fights the battles, she has the HeroicSpirit. Its lampshaded by [[SupportingProtagonist Ben]] in the bonus art how she gets the 'meaty story lines' despite not being TheProtagonist.** In the sequel, ''Literature/LegacyOfTheDragokin'' her Benji ''wants'' to be this. The prologue is a dream of his where he saves a village from an evil overlord. In practice, he's a SupportingProtagonist because he's a ten year old TagalongKid. * Edward Cullen from ''Literature/{{Twilight}}.* Katniss Everdeen from ''Literature/TheHungerGames''. * Mediochre Q Seth from the ''Literature/MediochreQSethSeries''. At least, he starts that way, but later he slips into AntiHero territory.* ''Literature/SongAtDawn'': Dragonetz is a good hearted and idealistic man at the center of the plot and the greatest threat to a set of villains, but he's not TheProtagonist. That role goes to Estela.* Maximillian White in Bryan Miranda's ''Literature/TheJourneyToAtlantis''.* Daniel Ruffino from ''Literature/TheLeonardRegime''.* ''[[Literature/ShadowsontheMoon Shadows on the Moon]]'' has Suzume, who also goes by the names Rin and Yue.* In the ''Literature/TortallUniverse'':** Alanna of Trebond, who is deliberately a female The Hero in ''Literature/SongOfTheLioness''. Among other things, she uncovers a plot to usurp the throne, helps Jon improve relations between Tortallans and the Bazhir, and brings a number of {{Badass}}es back to the capital for the FinalBattle.** Daine Sarrasri in ''Literature/TheImmortals'', who brings together humans, animals, and immortals as a NatureHero.** Keladry of Mindelan in ''Literature/ProtectorOfTheSmall'' becomes TheLeader over the course of her quartet and gains noble and commoner friends as she challenges harmful traditions.** Aly in ''Literature/DaughterOfTheLioness'' does this by being TheSpymaster, finding unusual allies and [[TakeAThirdOption third options]] for LaResistance.** Beka Cooper in ''Literature/ProvostsDog'' reminds her veteran cop partners of the idealistic reasons they joined the force and recruits fellow trainees (and friendly criminals) to help her solve a case that nobody's supposed to really care about.%% * Zoey from ''Literature/TheHouseOfNight''. %% ** Stevie Rae once she gets her own FiveManBand.* Muggle-Wump from ''Literature/TheTwits''.* Thomas from ''[[Literature/TheMazeRunner The Maze Runner Trilogy]]''.%% * Tessa Gray from ''Literature/TheInfernalDevices''. [[/folder]][[folder:Live Action TV]]* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': Angel's journey of redemption at times involves him actively taking on aspect of The Hero.* ''Series/TheATeam'': Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, though he's also kind of a LovableRogue as well as a [[TricksterArchetype Trickster]]. Notable for being most likely the only person in this trope to be over 50 years old.* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': ** Buffy Summers is the ChosenOne, who brings together others to support her. It is her job to kill bad guys ForGreatJustice.** In Season 9, Faith has become this to some, including Willow, and stands as perhaps the best example since Buffy's name is mud after she did what she had to do and Angel more an obsessed AntiHero. Officially she is The Slayer, despite Buffy being BackFromTheDead. In universe and out she is treated as one of the nicer characters at the end, when Buffy TookALevelInJerkass. And she's treated as The Hero over Buffy even before she saves the world.* ''DawsonsCreek'': Dawson Leery. * ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Doctor. While he fits this in most stories, he sometimes veers towards being an Anti Hero. The First Doctor was definitely not straight hero material.* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'': John Crichton.* ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': Malcom "Mal" Reynolds, though he's more of a LovableRogue.* ''Series/{{Ghostwriter}}'': Jamal.* ''Series/HouseOfAnubis'': Nina Martin.** When she leaves, it's Eddie.* ''Series/{{JAG}}'': Harmon Rabb.* ''Series/{{Leverage}}'': Nate Ford is the {{Antihero}}ic Hero of Leverage Consulting and Associates, as shown by his role as TheLeader and his commitment to helping those in need.* ''Series/MaddigansQuest'': Garland.* ''Series/{{Merlin}}'': Merlin/Emrys.* ''NoahsArc'': Though not an action-based series, Noah fits in that he has virtually all the non-combat qualities listed above. He's the protagonist, is morally superior (frequently choosing HonorBeforeReason), and compared to the rest of the group has a more balanced personality. He's the one who holds the group together, frequently reminding everyone how much they care about each other, and is almost always right in situations where he provides guidance/leadership. Even the wearing red/blue somewhat fits, as there are several scenes where he wears red specifically to make him stand out from the rest of the cast. He's also invariably front and center in any promotional photos and more often than not in scenes where the whole main cast is together.* ''OneTreeHill'': Lucas Scott.** However, after Lucas leaves in Season 6, Nathan becomes the hero of ''One Tree Hill''.* ''Series/{{Revolution}}'': Charlotte "Charlie" Matheson. However, she is too young and inexperienced to be The Leader.* ''{{Roswell}}'': Max Evans fits this to a T. His teammates frequently {{Lampshades}} it regularly asking him "What do we do now, Max?" even if sometimes they openly criticize him for his "passively watching" instead of taking action sooner, something that doesn't change when he's actually declared the king of his planet.* ''Series/{{Scandal}}'': Olivia.* ''{{Smallville}}'': Clark Kent, as he goes through the experiences that will shape him into Superman, one of the most classic examples of The Hero.* Franchise/StargateVerse:** Colonel O'Neill in ''Series/StargateSG1'' initially, then Colonel Mitchell in seasons 9 and 10.** Colonel Sheppard in ''Series/StargateAtlantis''. His ability to connect with and inspire people is unmatched on the series.** Colonel Young in ''Series/StargateUniverse''.* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': Captain Kirk is this to the FreudianTrio of Kirk, Spock and [=McCoy=].* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': Originally, Sam Winchester, most notably from season's one to six. ** According to Eric Kripke, Sam was modeled after Franchise/{{Star Wars}} hero and protagonist, Luke Skywalker. * ''SuperSentai'' and ''PowerRangers'' series (most of them): [[TheLeader The Red Ranger]]. A few Red Rangers have been [[TheLancer Lancers]], but they still receive the most focus in the series.** A partial exception is Tommy, who is originally the SixthRanger in the first season, but in the middle of the second season, becomes the leader as the White Ranger. He then stays on as leader in Power Rangers Zeo, but becomes the red ranger then.* The ''Series/KamenRider'' series are almost always named after TheHero of said series. In the Heisei series, most of these characters tend to be primarily red or blue in their base forms. * ''Series/TeenWolf'': Scott Mc Call. He is not especially bright (fortunately he has a HypercompetentSidekick, Stiles), but he is unfailing in his willingness to protect and help others. Even [[JerkJock Jackson]].* ''TheVampireDiaries'': Stefan Salvatore. Often referred to as a TragicHero, FallenHero, IdealHero and even a ByronicHero.** At times, Stefan drops from the role of hero and becomes an AntiHero; Stefan currently fits this trope as of Season 3. ** Elena is his female counterpart. She is the protectorate of everyone within the story, opposite Stefan. She is the main female character of the series.[[/folder]][[folder:Music]]* ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f_HsjpSVaI Holding Out For A Hero]]'' by Bonnie Tyler is all about this.* Mentioned in Blues Traveler's "Runaround."--> ''Like a bad play where the hero's right''--> ''And nobody thinks or expects too much''[[/folder]][[folder:Mythology]]* The word "Hero" comes from ClassicalMythology. It was [[TropeNamer derived]], from [[WorldsStrongestMan Heracles]]. However, serious ValuesDissonance kicks in because the heroes from ClassicalMythology could be just as bad as their [[JerkassGods Gods]].[[/folder]][[folder:Visual Novels]]* As long as he's sane, Keiichi Maebara from HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi plays The Hero but not the leader since the real commander of the group is Mion.[[/folder]][[folder:Web Comics]]* Despite ([[JackOfAllStats or expectedly due to]]) being a GeniusBruiser, Roy from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' is The Hero instead of TheBigGuy or TheSmartGuy.* Torg from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', though when he's in one of his "[[http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=090217 wacky moods]]" you'd never realize it.* Lance from ''WebComic/GoldCoinComics'', ultimately.* Julie from ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'', but mostly because the rest don't really want that job.* Elliot of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', he's brave, naturally drawn to defending people that need it, and acts a balance for his more eccentric friends. * Any, from ''Webcomic/M9Girls'' is both TheProtagonist and the heroine of the story, having shown her concern for the Girls' safety over her own. She has self-appointed to be TheLeader, though the Girls don't really acknowledge it. * Cale'Anon Vatay of ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' is a textbook example. He starts the comic as a "lone and righteous wolf", but quickly accrues of group of fellow adventurers, including the warlock Richard as his {{Lancer}}, whom he develops a close - if somewhat dysfunctional -- relationship with. He is not the most intelligent of the bunch, [[HorribleJudgeofCharacter clearly failing to recognize evil]] early on, but often displays quick thinking and good strategizing ability, especially after [[TookALevelInBadass taking numerous levels in badass.]] (He is definitely the newest to adventuring of the main characters, having started out the comic with a healthy dose of WideEyedIdealist.) Considering the actions of some of his group members, he can also be seen as an OnlySaneMan. He fights with two swords and eventually [[spoiler: shacks up with the resident ActionGirl.]]* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', Storytime Zombie [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4244 defines the good guy as the hero who gets to win in the end.]]* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has three: [[ThePollyanna John Egbert]] for the pre-Scratch human session, [[KnightInSourArmor Karkat Vantas]] for the post-Scratch Troll session, [[{{Meganekko}} Jane Crocker]] for the [[AlternateUniverse post-Scratch human session]], and [[PostHumousCharacter Meenah Peixes]] for the [[OurGhostsAreDifferent pre-Scratch Troll session]].* "Webcomic/WastelandersAnonymous": Although this is an ensemble piece, Benjamin acts as the catalyst that brings the characters together. Anne also has some of the hero in her but not as much as Benjamin. Paradoxically, Benjamin hasn't got a clue that he's the catalyst. Both he and Anne think Anne is the real catalyst.* Named after his Birthdate, Twentyfifth Baam from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''.[[/folder]][[folder:Web Original]]* Neil Sinclair of ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'' is arguably ''the'' hero of the series. He might not always make the right calls, but he's about the only character who retains his moral high ground throughout the game, and strives ceaselessly to save as many people as possible. He has the distinction of being the only character ever to form an effectual pro-escape group. [[spoiler:Which has a good chance to have ''succeeded'', cliffhanger and PyrrhicVictory notwithstanding; if nothing else, it's the closest the students have ever come to beating the system.]]* Sasha Hunter is an undoubtable one in GreekNinja.* Averted when Church of Machinima/RedVsBlue magnanimously declares it doesn't matter if he's the hero. Tucker is swift to inform him that he is nowhere near "hero", and suggests "participant" or "bystander" instead.[[/folder]]----

DUCHESS OF SIN Daughters of Erin series LAUREL MCKEE ISBN# 9780446544764 December 1, 2010 Hachette Book Group www.HatchetteBookGroup.com Print $7.99 384 pages Fiction, Romance, Historical Rating: 5 cups
Lady Anna Blacknall, middle daughter of the angel of the city, is as daring as she is beautiful. The debutante of the family, the public eye is upon her to be proper and correct in her manner and choices. But the traumas of her past have left her haunted and depressed and drive her to do crazy things under the radar of the scrutiny of society.
Conlan McTerr, Duke of Adair, wants Ireland to be free from England almost as much as he wants Anna, but he doesn't think the two coincide. Once having tasted her sweet lips, he again meets her in his den of inequity. Hungry for another taste, he cannot resist the lure of her vibrant beauty.
Through daytime encounters as members of Society and night time meetings that risk her reputation, they are driven by a passion to each other's arms. With his secret life of Irish rebellion and her reckless life of lady by day and hellion by night, only two things can happen. Their fiery natures will either combust into a love that will burn with erotic magic for all their nights to come or self destruct causing disaster.
With a duke worth falling for and a lady who plays vapid by day to hide her quick intellect, this story has all that makes historical romance such a fun genre. Politics play a vital role in this well-formed plot and depictions of things like mobs, hangings and burnings keep the emotional level strung tight and yet tender throughout this fun story.

This chapter looks at the fundraising efforts of the Save the Children Fund (SCF) between 1919 and 1922. It focuses on a series of newspaper advertisements taken out in The Times of London, which appealed for help for Austrian children, suffering because of the Allied blockade at the end of World War One, and later on for British children living in poverty. It will then go on to discuss the silent film, Famine -The Russian Famine Of 1921, released in 1922, which depicted the plight of Russian children and appealed for funds for them. The chapter argues that these fundraising advertisements had a dual purpose; not only did they seek to raise money but they also sought to shape adult attitudes and behaviour towards children in need. By drawing on particular notions of patriotism and Christianity, the adverts of SCF attempted to re-socialise British adults from hostile antagonists to magnanimous victors and to turn children, previously dismissed as potential enemies, into innocent victims.

The Luma Comfort EC45S Swamp Cooler is a portable standing evaporative cooler that will keep your bedroom, cubicle, or play area cool using the same amount of energy as a light bulb. This affordable and earth-friendly supplement to traditional air conditioning will also penetrate dry, stuffy air with soothing moisture. Slender and lightweight with built-in casters, the Luma Comfort EC45S Evaporative Cooler glides easily from one room to the next.
Best for cooling in dry, arid climates, this tower cooler is very effective in cooling and moisturizing your space, be it a bedroom or home office. You might even use it on your screened-in porch. It cools by pulling in dry air, running it over a high-efficiency moisturizing cooling pad, and injecting the newly cooled air back into your space. It oscillates 90 degrees to evenly distribute the air. Choose between 3 different speed settings to get the temperature just right.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 9.5% of the U.S. population suffers from respiratory allergies. If you are among this group, and you live in the Southwest, a lack of humidity could be the culprit. The Luma EC45S Swamp Cooler mitigates this problem by adding moisture to the air while its dust filter helps removes airborne particles.
The Luma EC45S Swamp Cooler is a portable, standing evaporative cooler that reduces the temperature of small enclosed spaces, adds humidity to the air, and removes airborne particles.

text: COMMAND Xpede multiple remote vulnerabilities SYSTEMS AFFECTED Xpede 4.1 PROBLEM In Gregory Duchemin [http://www.telus.com] advisory : All vulnerabilities described are remotely exploitable and that except for vuln 2 & 4, all vulnerabilities need a valid user asp session (cookie) before being triggered. However a valid cookie/credential can be find in many ways, by using either some well known browsers vulnerabilities or may be the Xpede clientside vulnerabilities i described in previous posts to bugtraq: - http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/4346 (account password revealed in re-authentication popup) - http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/4344 (account password weak encryption in cookie) Additionnaly, please note that Xpede automatically assign a default password \"access\" to all freshly created accounts without demanding users to change it, and indeed, chances to takeover some of them with \"access\" are quite real. Vuln 1 ====== Access to the /admin directory is not ACL restricted by default (no related reference found in Xpede documentation) and anyone with a valid regular (Xpede user) account can issue some requests to the Xpede\'s administration tools like /admin/adminproc.asp Because adminproc.asp omit to require any administrative authorizations Before issuing any sql request, a request from a regular xpede account and directed to /admin/adminproc.asp without parameter enumerates all users accounts giving their usernames/email/full name. A good start for social/engineering and account attacks. Worse even, /admin/adminproc.asp perform most of the administration tasks and offers to change/delete/add users profiles and passwords. While authenticated as a regular user, it is possible to issue malicious requests to takeover admin and other users accounts, to steal project managers rights and to change account informations. adminproc.asp will act as a gateway for the xpede sql stored procedures that actually perform the changes. Xpede seems to naively rely on the aspsession (for authentication) and a good user behavior baseline (no authorization management). Vuln 2 ====== An anonymous (no cookie, no xpede account needed) request to /admin/datasource.asp shows an html form revealing the sql account name used by xpede to perform all the sql stuff it needs. The formular offers to change the account password and, while fortunately asking for an old password before validating, it still open an opportunity for bruteforce attacks. The potential lose of the sql account password would then give a chance for an intruder to mess with the underlying sqlserver and corporate databases if not placed behind a well configured firewall. Vuln 3 ====== Utils/sprc.asp is a regular vbscript used by every users to perform various timesheets related tasks. A very dangerous option \"Qry\" in sprc.asp offers to inject litteral sql commands through the script and to the mssql server. A regular user can do almost anything within the corporate databases calling sprc.asp with this option. For instance, while every xpede users passwords including admin are stored in the XPD00002 table inside the DYNAMICS database, an intruder injecting a request like SELECT * FROM DYNAMICS..XPD00002 retrieve an exhaustive list of all xpede passwords including ADMIN and allow the attacker to unpersonate anyone inside the company. He can also try to take advantage of various possible misconfigurations and vulnerabilities to root the mssql database server, and can access/destroy/change the company customers list, projects details, financial informations stored in other databases as well etc... Consequences would be even more disastrous with \"sa\" as the xpede sql user (never do that with any non trusted application anyway). Vuln 4 ====== When a user submits an expense claim, xpede save it in the temporary directory /reports/temp. This directory, at least, should obviously not be indexable althougth i found no documentation related to that point. For security reasons, filenames are \"randomly\" crafted, begining with the fixed string \"expenserpt\" followed by 5 random chars and a .htm suffix. This 5 chars are choosen within the regex class [0-9A-F] giving something like expenserpt0AF4E.htm for instance. Anyone is allowed to anonymously download these files and even if obfuscated (indexing off), is able to launch a bruteforce attack on a filename basis trying to exhaust all the 1 048 576 combinaisons. This expense claims may contains interresting informations like project/user informations/customers and can be exploited for social engineering as well. Vuln 5 ====== After submiting a timesheet with xpede, a user has to sign it before his/her project manager to approve it. At this point the user is shown a screen displaying the new timesheet details to be signed through the ts_app.htm page (called by ts_app_process.asp). A vulnerability exists in ts_app_process.asp used to display/sign/approve etc.. timesheets because of a lack of authorization checkup and can be exploited to display other users timesheets by modifying the TSN parameter in the URI with the following syntax: http://xpede.target.com/approval/ts_app.htm?TSN=anyTSNnumber where TSN number is a global timesheet index incremented by one after each new timesheet submission, whoever made it, therefore it is trivial to find valid index starting from the current TSN value and by decrementing it. A valid TSN index will reveal /project names/working hours/price rate/ on a daily basis of the employee who submited it. SOLUTION Workarounds =========== Don\'t use any priviledged sql user (forget sa) and create a specific regular user for xpede database (as usual). supress any right for this user to access other databases. Ensure you have patched your mssql server against xp formatstrings attacks and that authorizations for master..xprocedures are set. Protect your mssql server behind a firewall and disallow the port number it is binded on from outside requests. moreover, I would suggest to use NTLM1 authentication on the whole web site to ensure that \"NT authenticated\" users are accessing the system rather than only relying on xpede authentication process. In this manner you will probably limit the potential risk to your population of legitimate users. Vuln 1 & 2 ========== Change permissions for /admin directory, use NTLM1 authentication and give only access to the \"Xpede admin\" NT account. Choose a hard to guess password for your xpede sql account (for datasource.asp vuln). Vuln 3 ====== Utils/sprc.asp can be called for various reasons during a usual user session and i\'m not really sure of the best approach to use. Vuln 4 ====== Disallow index browsing on the whole site, especially true for /reports/temp/, filter all requests directed to /reports/temp from your firewall if any, nids or your web server when possible. Or simply don\'t use claims feature if u still feel at risk. It may be possible to write a little batch to clean the directory on a regular and short time basis without interfering with xpede. Weak initial password ===================== For the \"default \'access\' password\" weakness, it may be usefull to write a scheduled piece of sql code to help find all emails of \"access\" passworded accounts through DYNAMICS..XPD00002 database, to warn people by email when necessary (and eventually to freeze accounts after a short period by replacing \'access\' with a \'hard to guess\' password).

[as pitched to a song-plugging firm in 2007! And they liked it! XD]
For music... 200 fricking Beats-Per-Minute is FAST FAST FAST! XD
But somehow this song seems to work (my family likes it too =)
I do not ever sell remixes or tracks
that heavily sample.
Making the music is my
reason for existing. -Tiger M
I won't soon forget A&R Select! *slow head shake* *smile*
I'm from the country (born and raised in Albany, Georgia)
So to have a 'small team' that seemed to be working
with me in Big 'Ol Los Angeles, California -- was humbling. =)
It is much because of this company I am able to brag
Gaming Company Namco considered my song
"Speed" for the arcade driving/racing game "Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift!" =D
Didn't make it in (another was chosen during the video game's production)
but just even knowing it was considered was more than enough! =)
Expect some amazing things soon! =D
Thanks for listening everybody!
Kindness and criticism welcome. =)

"I used my bread machine for the dough; with only 1 package of yeast. It rose just fine, but did take a bit longer than the recipe stated - one complete dough cycle. I'm not sure the dough needs all that butter; it did not taste much richer than my regular bread dough which has 2 Tbsps of oil.
The turnovers tasted good, but were quite dry. We tried various condiments for dipping and found sweet/spicy bar-b-que sauce to be the best. Spicy brown mustard was too over-powering."MY REVIEW

BTK (Tyrosine-protein Kinase BTK, Agammaglobulinaemia Tyrosine Kinase, ATK, B Cell Progenitor Kinase, BPK, Bruton Tyrosine Kinase, AGMX1, ATK, BPK) |
Description: Brutons tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a member of the BTK/Tec family of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases.All members of the family contain SH3 and SH2 domains and, with the exception of Txk and Dsrc28C, also contain a pleckstrin homology (PH) and a Tec homology (TH) domain in their amino termini.BTK plays an important role in B cell development. Activation of B cells by various ligands is accompanied by BTK membrane translocation mediated by its PH domain binding to phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate. The membrane located BTK is active and associated with transient phosphorylation of two tyrosine residues, Tyr551 and Tyr223. Tyr551 in the activation loop is transphosphorylated by the Src family tyrosine kinase, leading to autophosphorylation at Tyr223 within the SH3 domain, which is necessary for full activation. Applications: Western Bloting: 1:500-1:2000. Immunohistochemistry: 1:200-1:1000. Immunofluorescence: 1:200-1:1000. ELISA: Suggested dilution 1:10000. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. |

This is an experiment with some electric guitar. Sorry for the basic drums on top of the track and hopefully the bass isn't too bassy for you. I make all of this music with my computer hooked to a surround sound. Please enjoy and let me know what you think!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Very good what did you make this in sounds win
I used FL Studio 9. To me it is one of the most user friendly programs. It has a great variety of instruments to use.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
okay okay :)
your amp settings for your guitar imput made it scratchy and hard to listen to. and you gotta bring up ur drums, and add some high hat. and also play with the velocity. the velocity even adds more than volume adjustments. and you gotta change the chord progression sometime, man.. i mean, i dont like playing arpreggios 50 times nor do i like listening to them 50 times...
for experemental stuff, not too bad man! keep up the good work, im curious to see what you got in the future.
heres one thing you can do that i have a hard time doing however; you can make a melody.
see, im better with drums and harmony, but you know how to supply the bulk of the meat. you need to work on getting the depth in the drums and harmony lines, and you'll be making amazing stuff!
ill stay tuned!
Thanks a lot! I've been told I have trouble with the percussion side of music. I don't have the patience to try all the different drums sounds in FL Studio. But thanks for the advice definitely. I'll see if I can put it to use.
